I ended up going to my first model show in 3 years this last weekend which will somewhat explain my absence in the last week. I spent a lot of the week preparing for it in regards to touch ups and filling out the individual entry forms and stuff like that. The good news about waiting so long is that I was able to take 4 newer builds to the show. I ended up bringing home 3 awards.
My '56 Ford F-100 "Demon II" grabbed 1st Place in Street Machines:
The '41 Willys "Demon II" grabbed 1st Place in Street Rods:
and my '69 Camaro SS396 came in 2nd Place right behind my '56 Ford "Demon II" in Street Machines:

Those are way, cool, dude. Awesome work and a hearty congrats! Way to go.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Congratulations, Joe! That is amazing news. Simply amazing. Congratulations on your wins. All are well deserved, bud. All of them. You mentioned how you prepared, and gave the work and the contest your full attention, too. That made all the difference. What a great announcement, bud. The work you do is simply the bee’s knees. All the best!

Re: Model Fiesta 38 Awards
Thanks guys.
Bruce: LOL! I was in the hotel room wet sanding and polishing the hood after a repair that resulted in peeling the clear coat right off of the decals on the side of the hood. I had shot another gloss coat over the hood a few days prior and had to even out the coat where the damage was. Talk about last minute.
